Step 1: Find Your Gauge
The “ gauge" of body jewelry refers to the thickness of the item, which directly correlates to the needle size that is used to pierce you.
Everyone's nose is different; your local piercing professional will choose an appropriate size gauge to accommodate the size and shape of your nose. Since there are so many differently sized noses, there are also several different gauge sizes made to suit everyone's unique anatomy and aesthetic.
The gauge of the item is extremely important to the fit of the item. Standard sizing for nose rings is normally a 20 gauge; this means the thickness of the portion that goes through the piercing is approximately 0.8 millimeters.
Step 2: Find Your Proper Diameter
"Diameter" is the distance between the inside edges of the nose hoop at its largest point. For nose hoops, the diameter is measured instead of the length.
Depending on how high up your piercing is and how large or small your nostril is, an incorrect diameter can end up looking a little funky. A properly measured diameter will look the most aesthetically pleasing, so it's very important to measure correctly!
The two most common diameter sizes for nose hoops are 5/16″ (8mm) and 3/8″ (10mm). Individuals with larger noses or with large-gauge nose piercings may need rings with a larger diameter size. In this case, if possible, measuring a hoop that already fits can be a good benchmark.
If you need a size that isn’t commonly sold on our site, visit your local professional piercer. They will measure both your jewelry and your nose and can recommend a size that will work for you.

When it comes to your nose piercing, knowing what not to do is just as important as knowing how to maintain it. To maintain a nose piercing:
• Don’t apply over-the-counter antiseptics, including Neosporin. If you think your piercing is getting infected, continue your saline rinses and see your piercer for advice.
• Don’t use hydrogen peroxide — this will cause irritation in the piercing.
• Don’t twist or play with your nose jewelry, as this will irritate the piercing.
• Don’t touch your piercing with dirty hands.
• Never share nose rings or studs with other people.
• Don’t ever force a ring back into the piercing hole. This can damage your skin. If it’s not going in right away, gently insert the ring in a clockwise motion until it sets.

First- they are tiny. I have never bought the size before, so I was surprised by the size. Second- they are perfect for my daith piercings. The original hoops were a bit too big, and I needed a smaller size. The local place didn’t have smaller, so Amazon to the rescue.

Would buy again. Good quality.

Very easy to put on and take off. Will be ordering more in future.

Fits like a glove on my nose lol and it fits the aesthetic I’m going for. I have bought this same ring in multiple colors and it never bothers my septum and always looks great.
Heather Chan
Shipped fast, item as described, fit perfectly, easy on and off.

Was looking for a simple clicker hoop for my rook and this was exactly what I wanted. I bought a variety of sizes just to make sure I had the one that would suit my piercing the best, in the picture I’m wearing the 16g 6mm gold in my rook and 18g 8mm silver in my helix. The closure can be a little fussy, but in general the hoops are easy to open and close. Would definitely buy again.

I had put this ring in about 2 weeks ago and went to take it off tonight and it would not open. I had multiple people try until eventually I had to have my friend thats an nurse in the ER use the ring cutter on it to remove it. Even after cutting it we tried to open the latch and it still wouldn't open. My nose was so irritated and swollen after removing it that it took me 10 minutes to put another one back in.

I was hopeful when I ordered this product and at the price for one I figured it would be good quality. It is at a good thickness, great size, and it’s exactly as pictured. Although, after a few days of wear I came to realize when you open and close it only a few times the joint of the clasp becomes very loose. Now every time when I wear it and I barely itch my nose or bump my nose ring or even when I’m doing absolutely nothing it pops open. Sometimes I don’t feel it open and I’m left wearing a nose ring open with metal hanging out. Enjoy the idea of the product. Not so thrilled with the longevity let alone week wear of this product. Really bummed because I wanted to love it....
